Khaite’s Catherine Holstein Shares Her Glorious Gift-Giving Tips

When shopping for someone who is hard to impress, there are only a few people in the world we would turn to for failproof shopping advice. At the top of that list is the perpetually chic creative director and founder of Khaite, Catherine Holstein. After all, Holstein’s impeccable sense of style translates through the ready-to-wear pieces in each of her brand’s collections.

And it’s not just our closets Holstein continues to elevate. Most recently, her label branched out into the homeware arena, thanks to a partnership with the time-honored Florentine label Ginori 1735.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a bit of Khaite magic sprinkled on every area of our lives? Well, that might not be entirely possible (yet), but we can at least call on Holstein to help us get through the gift-giving season. If you’re on the hunt for gifts that are perfectly polished with a delightfully edgy twist, look no further. Ahead, Holstein shares her present recommendations to elevate your holiday shopping list. So read on for all the undeniably cool suggestions.

For the Fashionista

The modern woman who loves fashion will appreciate a gift that elevates everyday occasions in a unique way. She’ll ooze sophisticated ease while walking around in Khaite’s slip-on satin loafer. Carrying all of the essentials will never look cooler than it does with this grommet-embellished tote. And her jewelry collection will be complete with the celebrity-loved Ana Khouri ear cuff.

For the Beauty Lover

For those who won’t accept anything less than the best, Holstein recommends the high-quality ingredients found in the formulas by Macrene Actives. Holstein highlights the brand’s concealer as a must-have, but there are also gift-worthy serums and beloved lip tints.

For the Ultimate Hostess

Make sure you’re a great guest at any holiday dinners or soirées you attend by bringing a beautiful gift for the host. Holstein recommends giving them something extra special from the Ginori 1735 collaboration she created. Whether it’s a printed plate or the beautiful teapot, they’re sure to be impressed.

For the Dapper Man

The failsafe gift that Holstein recommends for any man in your life is an expertly crafted, cozy sweater. She suggests spoiling him with one of The Row’s lush knits, which comes in several colors.
